A lot of micromobility advocates also seem to really hate public transit for whatever reasons, even though it's often superior to cycling in time, safety, and throughput. To your second question, though, I think the answer is it depends on your intended location and use case. Most micromobility and cycling advocates want changes made to dense urban centers, which are less likely to cater to families with children. SDCs might actually make traffic worse in these places the same way ridesharing has since they will be spending some time driving around empty and also causing congestion when they pick up or drop off passengers. In more suburban settings, though, SDCs make a lot more sense.
